Complete turnover possible for Bangor House seats

For awhile Sen. Joe Perry, D-Bangor, wasn’t sure if he’d run again in November.

There are important issues facing Bangor – Hollywood Slots, school funding and mill closures, just to name a few, Perry said. With three of his colleagues leaving, he realized there had to be some continuity in representation of the city. He plans to be on the November ballot.

At least three of the four Bangor representatives will not run again next year. Reps. Jacqueline Norton, D-Bangor, and Patricia Blanchette, D-Bangor, are termed out. Rep. Sean Faircloth, D-Bangor, is giving up his seat in hopes of becoming the next Attorney General.
